Judge Sullivan
There could not be a more even-handed judge hearing the Flynn case. Judge Emmett Sullivan has a bi-partisan rise to the seat he now holds.
He was appointed to the bench of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia in 1984 by President Ronald Reagan, to the District of Columbia Court of Appeals as an Associate Judge in 1992 by President George H. W. Bush and to the federal bench in 1994 by President Bill Clinton.
Reagan, Daddy Bush, and Clinton – both sides but leaning Republican.
He made it very clear that he was not going to accept the government’s plea recommendation during the first plea hearing where they wanted him to go free, because from what he saw Flynn was guilty of treason.
Now he has asked for amicus briefs allowing former Justice Department prosecutors (and others) to argue against dropping the Flynn case.
Maybe, just maybe, this could lead to a hearing where evidence could be rehashed.
The Rule of Law is at stake here and I’ll be damned if some two-bit butt-kisser writ-twit like Barr is going to roll over it without a fight.
Today, I am proud to be an America and proud of Judge Emmett Sullivan.
Intrigued by the un-named ‘former Watergate prosecutors’. Watergate was between 46 and 48 years past. Are those folks even still around?
1Richard Ben-Veniste. Remember him?
The former Watergate prosecutors who are included in the letter are: Nick Akerman, Richard Ben-Veniste, Richard J. Davis, Carl B. Feldbaum, George T. Frampton Jr., Kenneth S. Geller, Gerald Goldman, Stephen E. Haberfeld, Henry L. Hecht, Paul R. Hoeber, Philip Allen Lacovara, Paul R. Michel, Robert L. Palmer, Frank Tuerkheimer, Jill Wine-Banks and Roger Witten.

2Does this mean that Mueller can submit a brief?
3Of course he’s a good guy, he’s a SULLIVAN!!!
4Here is the Watergate Prosecutors’ Brief. It is a thing of beauty. https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6889411/Flynn-Notice-of-Intent.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3eDxWBsaMgk5pondPG-skbDwuFpwI7TftLgB4h9J-Vlssq0TsAJazLxEU
5I anticipate a flood of tweets full of words like “unqualified,” “low-IQ,” “Deep State” and “so-called judge,” followed by Tucker Hannity demanding impeachment/investigation. After four years of this, I can’t be surprised anymore.
6Sullivan passed this along to retired Judge Gleeson. Gleeson helped put mobster John Gotti away. Gleeson knows that Donald Trump is a Confidential Informant, i.e. is a tattletale on his fellow mobsters. I really wish this were out in the open. Check out the three part series by Greg Olear. I can’t remember if the links were posted here. Check his Twitter feed @gregolear. Good stuff. Also see @LincolnsBible. This may help:

To Hannah, Nancy, and the always-reliable Megasoid: thank you for culling political links and posting them here. It’s gotten to where I first come to the WMDBS for news and only afterwards check out other sites.
To the rest of the gang: check out the link Hannah posted if you want a bit of cheering up. Especially the paragraph that Olear starts with “We think that Jared Kushner is going to beat us? Really?”
